Bungie Discuss The Problem With Thorn In Destiny
I must confess, Thorn was a favorite of mine in Destiny. The poison like drain of its bullets were extremely effective in the Crucible, making it one of the most used, but equally, hated weapons in all the game.
Bungie recognized this as a problem too. In a recent interview with Edge (Via GamesRadar) sandbox designer Jon Weisnewsk, explained the recent choice to nerf the weapon in an upcoming patch. He told the magazine:
Thorn is a problem, we all agree. It's frustrating to know you're going to die [from poison] and not be able to do anything about it. But it's been in the game a long time, and has only recently been a problem. Everyone who gets shot by it goes, Well, I need to get that thing,' so they get it, they go dominate, and it gets bigger and bigger.
As I mentioned, the gun is seeing a serious downgrade now, meaning Crucible goers will need to find new crutches to lean on. I'm excited for the upcoming shake up.
